Yes, default Power BI map visualizations use Bing Maps for geocoding. You may have some luck with the ArcGIS map visualization perhaps.

@andykmwong,

 

You can capture the logs when veiw your map in Power BI services by using Fiddler.

Fiddler Trace

============

  1. Install Fiddler from http://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler/fiddler4 if not already done
  2. Launch fiddler, then click Tools > Fiddler Options
  3. Click the ‘HTTPS’ tab.
  4. Verify the options are set as shown in this screenshot:

5. If fiddler prompts you to trust their root certificates, then click ‘Yes’.

6. Then navigate to repro the problem while fiddler is capturing traffic.

7. After the trace is captured, go to File > uncheck box next to Capture Traffic
